Re: Good idea?

Nope.

He's a lightening rod that offers nothing in terms of electoral votes.

You don't think the Obama crowd would throw him under the bus (again) if they had to?

It cuts both ways. I'm sure the Obama camp have as much dirt on him as he may have on him.

And again, he brings zero in the way of EC votes.

If your VP pick hands you a state like Florida, you do it everyday and twice on Sunday.

I'm not sure what you mean, I'm not talking approval numbers, I am talking about Rubio hands Mitt 2 to 3 points in Florida when asked who would you vote for.

If there is someone who can do that for Ohio (without causing a loss of vote in other states) you take that person.

I see what your saying now.

Rubio is wildly popular in Florida, thus would hand Florida to Mitt in November. Florida has 29 electoral votes. This makes things much easier for Mitt in terms of electoral math, thus allowing him to focus on states like Ohio, NC and PA.

Re: Good idea?

I'd rather have someone who can attack and fight. Rubio is not ready for that yet.

Obama didn't need Biden. Mitt DOES needs all the electoral math he can get. I am speaking of the specifics of this election, not of past ones.

And I am not sure where you two get your faith in Mitt carrying Florida automatically. Polling shows a dead heat. Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties are the three most populous and carry a heavy Latino population. Obama handily won those three counties in 2008. There is nothing to suggest otherwise this go around.

Attack and fighting is all well and good but if the pick doesn't bring you votes, what's the point.
